“Wenxu & her husband are amazing. They watched Enzo for the second time and accommodated us due to an emergency. I will continue to use them in the future & highly recommend. Enzo loves them and he love getting many pictures through the day/stay ❤️”
“Jennifer was amazing, incredibly patient and met with us before we boarded our son with her. She provided so many updates and addressed all of our needs and special requests with Ludo, and we would not hesitate to book her again. She truly worked to get to know Ludo to give him the best care possible.”
“Teddy seemed to really enjoy his stay with Alissa. He looked happy in the pictures that she sent us and he came back home not mad at us for leaving him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of teddy!”
“So responsive to our texts and communication was great. She treated Ranger like a part of the family and send us lots of photos. Ranger got along with her dog and cat and we plan to have Ranger stay here again in the future”
“We have a 80 lbs, 12+ year old lab, with arthritis in hind legs which makes it difficult for him to sit and get up. This time when our regular pet sitter was not available, we left Simba with Isabella with an almost skeptical mind as she did not have many reviews and seemed new. But at the end of the stay, we’re delighted to say that she took the best care of him, and made sure he got his walks and medicine on time.. she sent us very frequent updates including pictures and videos. She did everything to make sure that we were not worried about simba even for a minute while he was with her and were able to enjoy our time peacefully! Highly recommended!!”
“Our cat Journey had a delightful time at Joanne’s for a long weekend. We were impressed with the clear communication, lovely home environment, and delightful family that took such great care of him. We highly recommend Joanne and will not hesitate to use her again when were visiting family in the area.”
“Your search is over - Jillian is wonderful!! Not t only s she affectionate and loving with all of the dogs she is also a wonderful trainer ! My dear g had the time of his life the 4 days he spent there , playing and cuddling with everyone !!I am SO happy that I met her and I’m sure you will be too!!”
“Miss Molly had a fantastic overnight stay with Trinity. She was well cared for, and we will definitely be return customers. Thank you for the excellent care and attention!”
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She watched our dog Phoebe for 5 days and took such great care of her! Katelyn was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures, Phoebe was very well taken care of and came home tired and happy. We will definitely be reaching out to Katelyn for all future trips — thank you so much for everything!!”
“Danielle was amazing and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was extremely nervous leaving my German shepherd for a week (the most she'd been away from me was 2 days) knowing that she'd have separation anxiety. Danielle sent me pictures everyday of my pup playing with her own dog and I felt better knowing they were having fun. When I went to pick up my dog, it was as if she didn't want to leave! She was so comfortable and happy, and I could tell by the way she interacted with Danielle and her family. I will definitely use Danielle again next time I'm going on vacation!”
“Chris watched my dog who has separation anxiety for a couple days. I was so nervous (for all of them) to leave my anxious guy with someone he didn't know especially during a thunderstorm, etc... but everyone made it though and I'm grateful he had another dog he could play with, etc... Thanks Chris and Co.”
“Alba is fantastic! She welcomed Lady into her home and treated her as her own! Our little girl is happy, loving, and energetic. We found the perfect match with Alba! She kept in touch sending pics and videos showing Lady doing what she loves most...playing ball and sleeping alongside those she is comfortable with. This was our first time ever leaving a pet with someone not a family member or close friend. She was there from Friday morning to Sunday evening. A great comfort to know she wasn't alone at night. This was a great experience for us and would not hesitate to recommend Alba! We would certainly book with Alba again!”
“Liam was incredibly thorough and you could tell from the get go that he was very responsible. One of my dogs ended up having an expected medical issue and he was on top of it immediately. He ended up cooking for my dog to get her to eat again. On top of that he was in constant contact with me and it was clear that he cares about the pets he takes care of. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend!”
“Estamos muy satisfechos con Jamie, nos mantuvo informando sobre spike, enviando fotos etc. tuvimos una tarde mas tranquila con mi esposa contratandola sabiendo que mi perro estaba en buenas manos definitivamente super recomendada”
“Chiclet could not have been in better hands. Dawn took such good care of her and eased any concerns I had by providing updates and pictures. Very accommodating and seems to really be a dog-lover. Would give 10 stars if I could. Excellent sitter. Thank you, Dawn.”
“Our Jax spent a week with Cindy during Christmas. We were very happy with the care Jax received. Jax is a very nervous dog with separation anxiety,Cindy went above and beyond trying to make Jax comfortable. I would definitely use Cindy again!!!”
“Sarah abs her family were amazing. She kept us up to date with texts, photos and videos every day. She paid special attention to every detail about our pups and gave us some excellent tips on modifying certain behaviors. We would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Melville
We had such a great experience with Annabelle watching our Luca! This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter who wasn’t family or a close friend, and our first time using Rover. Annabelle made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She had great communication from our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay and sent us pictures of Luca throughout, which really put us at ease. Luca absolutely loved running around in her backyard and even got to sleep in bed with her, just like he does at home! It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Thanks again Annabelle!!
We had the pleasure of having Trin take care of our 4-year-old Golden Retriever for the second time, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable and at ease knowing he was in her care. Trin kept us updated with pictures and videos, which we loved, and she even went the extra mile and celebrated his birthday with him by giving him a birthday cake! 🎂🐶❤️ It’s clear how much love, attention, and care she gives to the pets she watches. We were so happy and pleased with the entire experience and will definitely be trusting Trin with our fur baby again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Melville is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 12,688 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Melville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Melville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Melville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Melville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Melville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
